I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and all of a sudden my key bindings for Sublime Text 2 multi-selection editing are no longer working. Specifically, I had key bindings set up for Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down arrow.

Now Mission Control has taken over that key binding. How can I remove the Shift key augmentation (that causes the transition to be slower) for the shortcut?

You can disable the keyboard shortcuts for slow-motion effects by following these instructions:

Open Terminal.

Open the plist file in your user's library preferences folder that contains the setting by typing open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist and hit return.

A window similar to this will open in Xcode:

For items 34, 35, and 37, set enabled to NO.

Close the file, click Save if prompted, and restart your system.

Enjoy.

Note: 34 and 35 may not be present in the plist if you have never opened the Mission Control preferences pane and changed the "Mission Control" or "Application windows" settings. If 37 isn't present either, simply add it yourself.

You can disable the Ctrl+Up/Down shortcuts for Mission Control in the Keyboard preference pane. Just untick both "Mission Control" and "Application windows". This will also prevent the Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down key bindings, where the Shift key acts as a modifier to slow down the animation, as you have noticed.

Disabling these shortcuts will allow you to use it again in Sublime Text 2 or other applications.
